For Those We've Lost - [Sequel]

Halloween Bonus Chapter !!!!

This is merely a bonus chapter for halloween, and has no connection to the actual storyline of the ff, slightly late, and also not edited in the slightest (no beta we die like our sleep schedule, iykyk)

Also it does have a little bit of kind of spice, but deffo not smut.

Tam adjusted the choker around his neck, the obsidian black pedant shining slightly. Humans were such fickle creatures. Mortal and short lived, with almost no self preservation skills in the slightest.

Unlike them.

Tam's heeled boots clicked on the cobblestone as they dodged the running children, who were clearly in a sugar high, avoiding getting rammed into. You see, it was the last day of October, the day that humans called 'halloween'.

They liked to dress up as zombies or skeletons, vampires and whatnot. They even tried to replicate witches (much to Tam's annoyance, especially) and ran around screaming or jumping, crazy because of all the sugary lollies they gave out.

And yes, Tam's household did partake in the handing out of lollies, but for some reason, their sister - adopted, cousin by blood - found it fun to put human eyes or actual blood into the lollies to apparently experiment on them, which he did tease them with to no end, considering her origins as a experiment (which generally ended up her replying snarkily noting their weird obsession with human hearts and then ending with one of them bleeding out and half decapitated, or with a axe in the head, much to their mothers annoyance).

If you couldn't tell already, Tam was not a human whatsoever. Okay, that was a lie, they had been human once upon a time - precisely 258 years, 5 months and 27 days ago - and had been distastefully murdered by a hot blonde vampire who drank all of their blood.

Apparently, just because Tam liked stories about dark magic and evil stuff, plus the fact that technically they had been previously female, and felt more like a guy and been booted out of the house by his father, his mother being vengeful and shit leading to her performing some kind of magical ritual and now, 258 years later, Tam was the local goth.

Not that they minded the attention, as it just meant more people to kidnap and potentially kill later, if he felt like it (yes, they knew that they were a little crazy in the head, but that's what happens when you get all the blood sucked out of you, and then get brought back to life.).

"Tam! I didn't know you were going out today!" A raven haired girl waved at him from up ahead. If they remembered correctly, this was his look-alike, Linh, who actually was a descendant from his dead twin, which was so fun! They mutedly waved as she dragged her current girlfriend, Marella, who Tam remembered because he had caught her making out with someone who suspiciously looked like his cousin after she had gotten drunk at a party!

"O-oh, hey Tam- what's up girlypops..?" Clearly Marella still remembered that incident, and had also worked out that Tam had a photo.

"Nothing much. I'm not going trick-or-treating though. Soph and Bi invited me over to a party." At that, Linh lit up, jumping up and down.

"We are heading there too! Aren't we Marella!" She nodded, and Linh continued to hop from one leg to another. "We'll be matching as well! Agh- That reminded me, I promised Soph to buy her some pig blood for some reason. Probably a prank. Ugh, I gotta go." And with that, they were off.

Tam watched them leave, flipping off Marella as she passed him in response to the similarly vulgar gesture she had given him. They turned to look back up the street at the decorations and kids and teenagers and grimace, knowing how many people would be commenting on his 'outfit'.
